After recently being notified of delays in construction on 159th Street that could extend into 2020, village officials reached out to their state legislators for assistance.

Less than 24 hours later, State Representative Jim Durkin and State Senator John Curran (both Republicans), were at village hall meeting with Mayor Yukich and village officials. After being briefed on the adverse effects this delay would have on our community, they immediately began pushing IDOT to accelerate its construction timeline.

The Homer Township Republican Organization and its members, in no uncertain terms, disavow the candidacy of Arthur Jones. There is no place in the Republican Party for the hateful views espoused by this man. We explored the potential of having him removed from the ballot, as we did in 2016, but it was clear that he had exceeded the signatures required under state law. The Homer Township Republican Organization calls on him to withdraw his name from the ballot immediately.

The Republican 41st Senate District Selection Committee announced today the appointment of John Curran to the Office of State Senator for the 41st Senate District of Illinois.

“John Curran will be an excellent State Senator for the 41st District,” said DuPage County GOP Chairman Brian Krajewski. “As the Vice Chairman of the DuPage County Board, John is a strong advocate for fiscal restraint and good government reforms, has deep roots in the community, and knows the pressing issues that southwest suburban residents face.”
